Alice by Christine Sterling

A woman determined to show her family she’s recovered from a horrible ordeal. A man who needs a wife to secure a new life. A secret that threatens to destroy them both.

Tired of four older brothers scaring off every suitor, Alice decides to take matters into her own hands. What she didn’t expect was the family’s childhood friend to notice how grownup she was, and vow to protect her; even if it is from her own family.
